Welcome to this month’s update on the San Francisco real estate market. In October, San Francisco’s median sold price for single-family homes was $1,900,000. Though up 16.9% from October 2020 this figure is short of the all-time high of $2,100,000 last summer.

As expected, the seasonal increase of new listings resulted in a jump in the number of homes sold. The 265 sold in October is 7.7% short of October 2020. However, this decline is not proportional to the reduced number of new listings. At 174, new listings were down a whopping 43.7% year-over-year. As a result of the strong sales, inventory has decreased to a 1-month supply.

While we maintain that $/sq ft can be a misleading figure for comparison purposes, its popularity continues to grow in this data-driven market. At $1,154, the median sold price per square foot is like September’s and up 14.3% year-over-year.

In the condo/loft/TIC market, the median sales price was $1,285,000, a 10.2% increase year-over-year. Median sales prices have been bouncing around in the low to mid $1.2’s this year, and October is a bit of a high-water mark. The strong condo/loft/TIC sales of 293 units were 13.6% compared to last October. As with SFH, the number of new condo/loft/TIC listings was down 39% to 249. As a result, condo/loft/TIC inventory is at a low of 2.2 months.
